of Sichuan, Gansu, Qinghai and Yunnan is the Tibetan of the family of
Sino-Tibetan languages. A subgroup of the Tibetan or also been known as Burmese
languages. According to Irene Thompsom
(2013), she stated that “Burmese, or Myanmar language is belongs to the
Lolo-Burmese sub-branch of the Tibeto-Burmese branch of the Sino-Tibetan
language family. There are two registers of Burmese language which are a formal
and a colloquial one. The formal register is used in official publications,
radio and TV broadcasts, literary works, and formal speech. The colloquial
register is used in daily communications”.
